Line For Spinnerbaits On Baitcaster 2024

George DeHaven reply :

What does everyone use for throwing spinnerbaits with a baitcaster?

kylek reply :

This year I used 12lb yo-zuri hybrid line and it did really well for me. Next year I am changing up lines to try some new stuff. I plan on using 15lb Seaguar fluorocarbon.

zachb34 reply :

I use braid for everything except crankbaits so braid, but I just spooled some invisx on my spinnerbait rod just to try something new.

George DeHaven reply :

I'd like to use braid but how heavy should I go? I use 20# braid on my spinning reels but I'm worried that it's too light for a baitcaster. However, I also feel like 50# or 60# is too heavy but I could be wrong.

kylek reply :

I think you would be fine using 50lb braid. Most in that range have the same size as 12-14lb mono.

George DeHaven reply :

Good to know. Thank you so much!

Felix77 reply :

I use 12 lb Seaguar InvizX.

Mike L reply :

I use 15# Invizx

12# mono. Have some Sunline Super Natural mono on the way but right now it's Trilene XL.

Grantman83 reply :

12-17lb fluoro depending on the size of the Spinnerbait

Wayne P. reply :

I use a superline with a mono equivelent diameter of 10 lb test. Typically that is 50# superline.

I like the stiffer types like Spiderwire Stealth in most cases.

21farms reply :

spinnerbaits are a reaction bait and line visibility isn't too much of a concern. KVD uses straight 15-20# fluorocarbon. i use 50# braid with a 20# FC leader (braid is too limp and has a tendency to foul the blades so that is why i use a short length of FC for leader).

Arv reply :

braid, maybe a leader

QUAKEnSHAKE reply :

10-15-20# braid

10-12# fluoro

iabass8 reply :

14# Sunline fluoro. I can't stand using braid for spinnerbaits.

plumworm reply :

I've been using P-line cxx for years. 12-14 lb. Cheap, durable,problem free.

Craiger12 reply :

12# P-line CXX

Jeff H reply :

14 or 17 lb Trilene XT for me.

George DeHaven reply :

Thank you all so much for the responses! I haven't decided what I want to do yet. I'm leaning towards straight fluorocarbon but I run #20 green PP on a spinning reel with a 9' fluoro leader and I have been really enjoying it. However, I like the idea of NOT having to tie a double uni knot!

Great choice, big game green 12# to 17# trilene

The Young Gun reply :

Trilene xt 15lb or yo zuri 12# is absolutely awesome for me. I don't use braid for spinnerbaits just cause it's a confidence thing. But if I were do id probably use 30# 832

I hate the no stretch.

McAlpine reply :

I started using 15lb mean green this year with spinnerbaits and really like it. Stays limp, casts nice, strong, low stretch.

Fishes in trees reply :

I use whatever 17 lb test line that is on January fishing tackle close outs at Walmart with these exceptions. I've had enough bad experiences with Big Game over the years that I won't use that any more and the same goes for P Line.

Last year it was 17 lb Suffix Siege and in prior years it has been Spider Wire Super Mono and Stren Dura-tuf and if I ever find any more Berkley Iron Silk, I thought that was great spinnerbait/squarebill line.

Teal reply :

30 lb spiderwire with 12 lb Sniper is generally what I use, in thicker stuff ill use 50 lb braid or 20 lb fluoro

new2BC4bass reply :

I throw 3/8 oz. and under on Medium power rods that usually are spooled with 8# mono. !/2 oz. and over spinnerbaits get MH rods normally spooled with 12# mono. Of course, there are exceptions.

MrTexasRigs reply :

I use 15# big game, just what i prefer. That or 15# red label or abrazx fluoro.

12# P-line CXX

This is what I use as well. It has a little more stretch than fluoro, but not nearly as much as mono.j

It's also abrasion resistant, so you can pull them out of the brush piles.

Catt reply :

Berkley Big Game 15#

Yep tough stuff!

J Francho reply :

I use 20# Tatsu this past season. For years before, I used 12 or 15# P-Line CXX.

ksboy reply :

Good ole BPS Excel 12# for me.

mjseverson24 reply :

I like either the yozuri 12-15 lb for sparse cover and or clear water, 30 lb braid with 20 lb floro leader for heavy weeds and wood.

Mitch

lmbfisherman reply :

I use braid mainline and will use Floro or Yo-Zuri/P-Line, 10 to 12# as a leader.

John G reply :

15# Big Game or 15# Yo-Zuri Hybrid
